Liscoe family....
« on: Monday 19 September 05 22:15 BST (UK) »
HI
          I am trying to trace the family of..
            Charles John  Liscoe b 1884in Bermondsey.
  He was the son of George and Martha Liscoe and my grandfathers uncle. I do not know what part of Australia he came to but it was after 1901.Everyone else stayed in England so probably never saw him again.

    It is a long shot but does the name Liscoe ring any bells.

Nothing in the NSW BDM regisry.

Nothing in war records or the Ryerson (death notices) index either.

Nothing in the National Archives.

Thanks spunky,

         Will have to have a search through some old papers of grandads .There was something in there about Charles but we cannot lay our hands on it.

I did a search via the internet and found details that could pinpoint the family to New South Wales.

       Any ideas on newspapers in this area .

            Thanks

The main paper for family notices would be the Sydney Morning Herald.  The Ryerson Index has all the death and funeral notices in the SMH since (I think) 1974.  Other regional newspapers are slowly being added to the index.

The surname 'Liscoe' does not produce any records from that index.

Perhaps if you could find a name of a town it would be easier to locate a regional newspaper which might contain some information.

Thanks again spunky,

  I have a feeling I am on a loser with this one and will have to come back after I have done some more digging.

       Thanks for the pointers. I looked through for local papers but it threw up some many it would need to be narrowed done.
